Fara Francis Theory of a Deadman crushed their show at Paramount Theatre on February 11, 2025, in Denver, Colorado. Mick Blankenship and Ayron Jones kicked off the show making for a rocked night.
Mick Blankenship
Hailing from Cincinnati, Ohio is the American rock artist, producer, songwriter, musician, and multi-instrumentalist known as “Mick Blankenship”. Mick recently teamed up with producer John Moyer (Bassist of multi-platinum rock band Disturbed) to record his first full-length solo album titled: “Crown of Apathy”. Using low and heavy guitar riffs, huge vocals, and hard-hitting drums, Blankenship ties it all together with lyrics that are completely relevant to his past struggle and today’s culture. The album is packed with raw emotion and relatable to all walks of life. The live performances are undeniable and have an energy like no other.

Ayron Jones
Seattle singer, songwriter, and guitarist Ayron Jones delivers a fiery amalgam of Jimi Hendrix-inspired guitar wizardry, heavy grunge grooves, and a hard blues-rock feel. Additionally, he occasionally takes detours into hip-hop and soul, showcasing his versatility. Emerging in the early 2010s while fronting the power trio Ayron Jones and the Way, he made an impact with his first outing, which was notably produced by Sir Mix-A-Lot. Later, he transitioned into a solo career, eventually signing with Big Machine Group. As a result, he made his major-label debut with 2021’s Child of the State, featuring the rock hit “Mercy.” Within a year, he continued building momentum by releasing singles from his next project, including the charting track “Filthy.”
